My family has been coming to Toma's for nearly 2 decades (when they were in a different location)…read more This place never disappoints, the food is always amazing and the owners are accommodating. If you like middle eastern food you must try the food here. With Arabic food, sharing is the way to go. We ordered a few appetizers; hummus, fattoush, Greek salad, baba ghanoush (not pictured), tabouleh (not pictured). The reason I love going here is because of the appetizers, they remind me of how my mom and aunts make appetizers; in the traditional Iraqi way. The salads are zesty and sour, which is very typical of Iraqi cuisine but it's so delicious. The ingredients are all very fresh. I highly recommend trying the hummus and tabouleh, they're addictive. For our main meal we ordered a giant mixed platter with a bit of every meat (lamb chops, chicken souvlaki, beef schnitzel, chicken schnitzel, beef kebab tenderloin, Iraqi beef kebab). This was so delicious, everything was cooked perfectly. If you only want to try one meat I would highly recommend trying the lamb chops, I could easily eat 20 of those. The schnitzels are quite popular amongst kids, I remember ordering those all the time and they still taste as good as I remember them. And of course all the sides are amazing (especially the fries). For dessert we had tea and creme caramel, a great way to end the night. This place is awesome, we'll continue to go here especially for events (they sometimes bring DJs). The place is very clean as well (bathrooms are spotless).

I am surprised that I do not have a review for this restaurant I have been here multiple times…read more the food is consistent the rice is flavorful they give good portions the salad is always fresh they're hummus is super yummy I highly recommend they are also very nice people it seems like it's family-owned.

Full of flavour and so juicy! The doner kebab especially was perfection! Also the chicken shish stood out a lot to me as it was so succulent and moist! The baklava was perfection! The Turkish coffee also definitely worth trying! I know we'll be back again! Would recommend!

Just visited the Whitby location this weekend and was absolutely blown away. What a beautiful cafe…read morewith amazing decour, service, ambiance, music and all around vibes. To top all of the warm fuzzy feels when you enter, the food and drinks are just amazing. They are certainly on the pricier end of cafes - so this is an important consideration. But I personally find they use quality and fresh ingredients. My family loves their pastries (both sweet and savoury). I tried their salted white matcha, which was so delicious. I'm a die hard fan of their strawberry cups and tiramisu. Honestly, some of the best tiramisu out there. So happy they opened another location because the Oshawa one can get quite busy. Was great to see a larger cafe doing so well as a small business.

I ordered the Lavender Cream Matcha and it was soooooooooo good. I also got the pistachio croissant…read morewhich was also delicious. The cafe is very spacious and with lots of seating. It had a nice natural vibe with the brand stamped everywhere. The service was decent. Not overly friendly, they were just kind of there. That's the only reason why they got 4 stars instead of 5.

The food was delicious especially the kofte and the wings! On point! Make sure to get Reservations on the weekends cause it gets very busy.

Gul Gul is a lively and welcoming spot offering generous portions and rich Middle Eastern flavours…read more It also offers a warm atmosphere with friendly service and even live music on some nights. The space feels upbeat and is suitable for both casual meals and group gatherings. The menu features a wide range of Turkish and Lebanese dishes. We ordered "Fig Salad" and "Gul Gul Hot Mix Platter" for appetizer; aromatic and fresh. For entrée, we ordered "Mix Pide", "Gul Gul Special Chicken Shawarma" and "Mix Grill for 2". Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked and beautifully served. We ended our meal with "Turkish Coffee with Baklava" and "Turkish Tea". From vibes and friendly service to delicious food, Gul Gul offers them all.

Great food and cool vibes! Heard about this place and tried it recently, and I was quite satisfied…read morewith my experience here. For food, we had (1) the tabbouleh salad (this is essentially a parsley salad with tomato, onions, and it's quite tart/tangy - this was probably my fav dish), and (2) the mix grill platter for 2 (this had chicken, beef, fries, barley rice, peppers, tomatoes, pita bread, and garlic dip - this was very good as well and allows you to try a lot of different things). The service was also great - we had a small complaint on one of the chicken wings in our platter and the server came back and replaced it (and more), free of charge. We came here on a Friday night and was surprised by a live DJ who was playing music. The vibe here was super chill and fun on the Friday night, especially with the live music, dancing, and shisha. I'd definitely come back and try their other food items.

Excellent fresh food!…read more The kebob was great and the taste was really good. The place is small and clean! A definite place to come back too! The service was fast and friendly.

Great little spot with a superb location right off the 400 close to Rutherford and Weston…read more The place is about 1 week old and it's already attracting a great deal of attention. Customer service is great and their Shisha is one of the best Ones that i've tried in the GTA. The interiors are beautiful and inviting, tvs everywhere, but it's certainly on the smaller side, so it would get filled up pretty quick once people start knowing about this place. Alcohol is to be added in the next week or two and they'll be starting live music and belly dancing as stated! Great spot, check it out

I'm visiting Toronto and wasn't sure what I wanted to eat for dinner so I headed to Yelp, read…read morereviews, and chose Palmyra. I'm so glad I did. This is a small, family owned establishment. The family was actually sitting down to dinner at the end of the day when I arrived approximately an hour before close. It was wonderful to see them eating together. I was immediately greeted by one of the employees. He was very friendly and allowed me to take my time. I wanted to try a falafel because I love to try several menu items. He accommodated that and allowed me to order a single falafel patty to try. I was stuck between choosing the Palmyra Platter or the Mixed Shawarma plate because, as I said, I like to try several items. I ended up choosing the mixed shawarma plate and ordered it as is. The falafel was crispy and I could taste the herbs mixed in. The sauce drizzled over the top was the perfect addition. I was so glad I tried it. I was so eager to taste it that I forgot to get a photo. I chose the mixed shawarma plate thinking it would be a more manageable serving for me to finish than the Palmyra platter. I was sorely mistaken. It was easily enough food for at least 2 people. This was well worth the price point. The salad was fresh and crispy with a good variety of vegetables in it. I really enjoyed the vinaigrette they used for it as well; just tangy enough. The chicken and beef were crispy on the outside and tender inside. They had good flavor and were not dry at all. The spicy potatoes were a tad spicy for me but I still ate them. The rice was ok in my opinion. I had enough left over to eat a second time. I will definitely visit here again on a subsequent trip so I can try more of their menu items. Overall this was a good experience for me.
